“Green” computing is becoming all the rage lately, and it looks like AMD/ATI is following NVidia’s lead by revising card designs to remove the additional external power connectors. exPreview has some information on a new RadeonHD4830.
This special HD 4830 coming from Triplex has opted GDDR3 memory, and comes with core/memory clock of 575/900MHz. As we can see, the PCB length is shorter than reference deisgn, and the CrossFire connector is also removed.
This card provides a complete set of DVI, D-Sub and HDMI outputs. Though the 6pin connector is removed, we have no idea yet how much less power consumption it can offer compared with reference model.
